really it&#39;s not that exact... you can be burning a TON of fat, but if you&#39;re using it for energy and you&#39;re well hydrated, the concentration of ketones in your urine will be small.

You can also be burning fat but not using much of it for fuel (if you sit on the couch all day) and if you&#39;re dehydrated the concentration in your pee will be greater and it will appear as if you&#39;re "deeper" into ketosis.

Really, being in ketosis is what it is... the ketostix won&#39;t tell you much more than that.

Eating lots but still hungry? Eat more fat. Mid-day sluggishness? Eat more fat. Feeling depressed or irritable? Eat more fat. People think you've developed an eating disorder? Eat more fat... in front of them.
